HelpRe: Pearl and Rhiannon
in reply to a message by HeatherAnna
I had a truly horrible teacher in 9th grade named Mary Pearl.
At my school we have these things called ethics points which help if you're good but are a pain if you're not. If you so much as "Bless you"'d somebody in her class when they sneezed you would get a certain amount of points taken off. And those points counted for 10% of the end total grade. I kept my mouth shut for the entire year and still came away with 50 (1 tardy - 10; 1 absense - 20 ; 2 something anothers that totaled 20). Two girls got up to 450 or something like that.
Anyway, kids used to call her Hairy Earl behind her back.
Both names are not common around here -- Georgia. At least, not in high school. I would probably pronounce Rhiannon as Ree-ah-non. That probably differs though.
